Abstract
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit includes a base, an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, and a spout pivotally coupled to the base. The emergency wash arm includes an emergency wash unit that is rotatable relative to the base about a first vertical axis. The spout is rotatable relative to the base about a second vertical axis. The first vertical axis is offset from the second vertical axis.
Claims14
A combination emergency wash and faucet unit, comprising:
- a base;
- an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, the emergency wash arm including an emergency wash unit, wherein the emergency wash arm is rotatable relative to the base about a first vertical axis;
- a spout pivotally coupled to the base, wherein the spout is rotatable relative to the base about a second vertical axis, wherein the first vertical axis is offset from the second vertical axis;
- a first rotation control member coupled to the emergency wash arm and rotatable relative to the base about the first vertical axis;
- and
- a second rotation control member selectively rotationally coupled to the spout and rotatable relative to the base about the second vertical axis;
- wherein the first rotation control member is rotationally coupled to the second rotation control member such that rotation of the first rotation control member causes a corresponding rotation of the second rotation control member.

A combination emergency wash and faucet unit, comprising:
- a base;
- an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, the emergency wash arm including an emergency wash unit, wherein the emergency wash arm is rotatable relative to the base about a first vertical axis;
- a spout pivotally coupled to the base, wherein the spout is rotatable relative to the base about a second vertical axis, wherein the first vertical axis is offset from the second vertical axis;
- a rotation control member coupled to the emergency wash arm and rotatable relative to the base about the first vertical axis, the rotation control member defining a first stop surface and a second stop surface;
- and
- a stop pin repositionable relative to the base between a first pin position and a second pin position,
- wherein, when the stop pin is in the first pin position, the first stop surface is configured to engage the stop pin to limit rotation of the emergency wash arm in a first direction when the emergency wash arm is in a first stored position;
- and
- wherein, when the stop pin is in the second pin position, the second stop surface is configured to engage the stop pin to limit rotation of the emergency wash arm in a second direction when the emergency wash arm is in a second stored position.

A combination emergency wash and faucet unit, comprising:
- a base defining a first stop surface;
- an emergency wash arm pivotally coupled to the base, the emergency wash arm including an emergency wash unit, wherein the emergency wash arm is repositionable between a stored position and an active position;
- a spout pivotally coupled to the base and rotatable relative to the base about an axis;
- a gear pivotally coupled to the base,
- a rotation control member rotationally coupled to the emergency wash arm, the rotation control member defining a second stop surface;
- and
- a stop protrusion coupled to the spout and configured to (a) limit rotation of the spout in a first direction when engaging the first stop surface and (b) limit rotation of the spout in a second direction when engaging the second stop surface;
- wherein rotation of the emergency wash arm between the stored position and the active position causes a corresponding movement of the second stop surface relative to the first stop surface;
- and
- wherein the rotation control member includes a plurality of gear teeth in meshing engagement with the gear to rotationally couple the rotation control member to the emergency wash arm.
